Font maps

London-based designer and typographer Richard Small is the genius behind Font Maps -- a geographically accurate map made from, you guessed it, fonts! Individually arranged letters are used to create the shape of cities, counties, states or countries. The borders are even represented by the arrangement of letters. How cool is that, friends? xoxo
